Software package for GSM testing

IFR has introduced the PhoneTest software package and 2935 GSM test head for PC-based digital GSM 900/1800/1900 system cellular phone testing.

The products embody not only a comprehensive test and repair solution but also optional software, additional management, clerical andadministration tasks necessary to the efficient running of a service workshop.

PhoneTest is the controlling software for the test head, and provides the man-machine interface using a Windows environment. This enables the generation of warranty claim forms, mobile repair history, repair hints and valuable workshop statistics which are vital tasks that GSM service centres undertake.

The test head provides the signaling protocols to simulate a basestation to allow a GSM handset to be out into conversation mode.
